Abstract (en)

The present invention allows a user to enjoyably select a music content, which meets the user's potential likes, for a short period of time without stressing the user. The present invention selects a group of music contents, which should be regarded as objects of reproduction, from among numerous contents, sequentially reproduces and outputs hook-portion data items (A1, B1, and C1) of the group of music contents, inserts a hook switching sound effect, which is expected to exert a user-desired effect, between adjoining ones of the hook-portion data items (A1, B1, and C1), and thus performs partial reproduction processing on the hook portions of the group of music contents. Therefore, the present invention allows the user to recognize what the group of music contents is for a short period of time, and allows the user to enjoyably select a music content, which meets the user's potential likes, for a short period of time while listening to a stream of hook portions and hook switching sound effects, but neither stresses nor bores the user.
